Just get latest Ubuntu, these efects are built in and available as soon as you enable hardware acceleration, and old news ;)

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) will run Compiz Fusion well, as long as you have a capable video card. Once installed, you can enable desktop effects and have the fancy effects like the YouTube video. You may need to run:
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

In order to have the Advanced Desktop Effects Settings choice under System>Preferences. From this menu, you'll be able to turn on the 3D cube, wobbly windows, etc.

the video card is a "nVidia quadro NVS 120m" with this video card work??

thatas based opn either the 7400 or 7600, so yes, it should work perfectly ;)

you'll have to enable the driver after install, but we can cross that bridge later :D

the video card is a "nVidia quadro NVS 120m" with this video card work??I get excellent Compiz performance with my cheap little integrated Intel 945GM (See attachment). As long as that card is supported in Linux (I'm pretty sure it is), you should be able to experience all the cool graphics.
